Current monitoring system and output current monitoring device
Abstract
A current monitoring system and an output current monitoring device are provided. The output current monitoring device includes a control module, a communication module, a first hub module, a second hub module, a current sensor module, and a switch module. The switch module is disposed between the power generation devices and the power collecting device. The current sensor module is disposed at one side of the switch module adjacent to the power collecting device for detecting a plurality of current values of the power generation devices. The control module receives a modulation signal of the server to adjust a turn-on state or a turn-off state of the switch module for determining a total power that the power generation device provides to the power collecting device.
